HR Professionals globally need to be good in analysis, data interpretation, presentation at various level within the organisation. Ultimately its data which depicts what is happening at every level within the organisation. It's difficult to count the exact number of HR who are using pivot table charts etc, but any organisation which follows a systematic approach in decision making, its HR's must have this skill to fullfill organisational and functional need. 

Actually, I am a BIG FAN of Excel with all its features :)

I use Pivot table/chart to extract huge data according to requested report, not only for HR functions, but also for other fields.

 

YES........ !! it is very useful ..... within some cursor move you can convert multiple rows n columns into table which is very easy to understand .......

Yes pivot tables are very helpful in reporting and presentations. It summarizes data into a compact, understandable format. It was helpful for me in analysing huge data in excel where in have so many rows and columns. It would simplify as and how you would want it to be presented, You can drag and drop the items, that is an ideal option.

Well to know about others I need to cascade the same question to them seeking for answers and as far as I am concerned I do use it frequently to concisely explain my managers the outcome of my on the job efforts..Actually I am used to it eversince my MBA days while I was working on my projects.

In big companies,it is used almost daily but at the time of month end financial closing ,Preparation of financial budgets ,monthly ,quarterly forecast, it is too much important
